Student Learning Motivation Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is used to summarize common sources of student motivation in day-to-day academic settings. The Student Learning Motivation Questionnaire is designed to support a structured review of how students prioritize different reasons for engaging in schoolwork.
It contains 28 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to generate a ranked profile of motivational priorities, which may help guide case formulation, targeted intervention planning, and progress monitoring in school-based or educational psychology contexts. The Student Learning Motivation Questionnaire is attributed to Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan.
